Thanks, Snodderly,

He is still answering his land line, getting his mail and his apartment would be too small for her and her kids, so I do not think he has moved yet. Having said that...you picked up my biggest fear right now - the move is coming. And although I can do nothing about it, that will be a very hard moment for me.

And you are right, he is absolutely emotionally attached to me. I am trying to control my emotional attachment to him. We've been through so much together (as I am sure everyone on this board has with their SO).

Thank you for your kindness. I am trying not to have expectations for the visit which is tough. The thought that he is using me makes me a bit ill. This was a person I would have trusted with my life. I have read enough from others in the trenches that we may never understand WHY.

I am envious of those who have realized that after a few months, they weren't sure that they would take their SO back. My GAL goal right now is to try to unstuck me from this ruminating. I thought I would be doing much better by now.
